The Diary

The Diary

A Poem by Urja Gokani

Written in these pages are the broken hearts that no one ever saw.
I am still finding those shattered pieces in my mind
And when I go back there in time 
I can't believe that life was mine
I found those pieces but I am not able to construct my way on my own
And alone in the dark I lay here cold
I have lost all my hope 
And I guess i am ready for laying beneath a stone
And you know I have lost half of my life
Thinking about death at all times
Locked in these four walls I die slowly
I feel lost in a world full of fear
Fear of losing myself
And today I sit in the corner with the weather getting colder and colder
The shawl hugging me to keep me warmer and warmer
And slowly my life is getting shorter and shorter on its own

I really enjoyed this poem. Especially the line about losing half of your life just thinking about death. I often ponder big topics like these and it really does make you realize how much time you spend thinking about things out of your control. You can't change the ticking clock as it seems to move faster and faster each day. Great poem!

" lost half of my life
Thinking about death at all times
Locked in these four walls I die slowly"

Such a powerful write we can all relate to it somehow and somewhere in our journey. Keep up the excellent work...:).................

You are welcome. ....^)))))
So beautifully painful and introspective. A diary written in love and loss. Every glimpse seems to fill me as I read it here.

A heartrending poem.
The flow of you poem was good.
I really liked the theme of our poem.
Past is a haunting element in our lives. When we can't achieve our desires and when these lost desires become a part of our past then regret haunts us; which sometimes is unbearable.
Well done and please keep writing.

i do it all the time
i'm not sure but in the last stanza did you want it to be "weather" instead of "whether"? this poem is just so relatable, i personally write a daily diary and when i re- read it i literally don"t believe that i had a life like that. "Written in these pages are the broken heats that no one ever saw.
I am still finding those shattered pieces in my mind
And when I go back there in time
I can't believe that life was mine"
the first stanza is very very relatable ! loved it! keep writing :DD

Life is like that. On a high, the world is at our feet. At a low, we wonder how we ever flew so high. This too shall pass....And life will be ours again. Amazingly written, cherryblossom 🌹

It is often the case that when we look back we can't believe how things were...gives the reader a reminder that change is consistent...nicely done :)
